I agree. I always think that you start with a kit, which becomes a model and, with attention to detail, careful work and a certain amount of dedication, the model then becomes a replica, in miniature, of the original, as close as is possible for the skills of the particular modeller.
Well, at last I´ve found the thread Wojtek. Wow!!! Mama! I did not known you are a dr.Surgeon and a magician.
I am sure your model will be great. The amount of work you put into it is humangous, tho. But I always say we are The Model, not a toy makers, so the more work the better. Isn't it so guys!?
I think its good that Wurger is showing that you can make a good model out of an inexpensive kit. There's always a temptation to blow a lot of cash on some state of the art Tamiya/Hasegawa/Eduard masterpiece but I think you can learn a lot more this way. There is an English expression "To make a silk purse out of a sows ear..."
Nice siggy by the way Marek, always liked the Stuka. One of them crashed in the field behind my house back in 1940 so the locals tell me...
Not that I've ever found any. I live in the County of Kent in South East England, "Battle of Britain" country as it were. If you had the time, money and patience you could spend your entire life digging up B of B aircraft around here. Not so long ago I got involved in the recovery of a (if memory serves) SKG 10 FW 190 from the salt marshes near the Thames River estuary.. God only knows what remains buried...
Now back to the Sturmjager before we derail Wojtek's thread!
The weather here has gotten better at last.So I have found some free time to continue working on my Fw190A-6.Today I made the right half of the fuselage longer as I had said before.The central area of the fuselage was extended with 1.5mm extension and the rear one with 1.2mm.Here a few pics to show this.
